About Us
Sushi Ukai, originally called Sushi House, had been purchased by the owner of Sushi House Group. The staff at Sushi House remained the same after the name was changed to Sushi Ukai. The word "Ukai" means a traditional method of catching small Japanese trout by manipulating seabirds.

From sushi, sashimi, classic sushi rolls, bento boxes, and cooked Japanese dishes, our menu is focused on pleasing our customers. Our elegant, Japanese decor and friendly staff will make your visit memorable.

Originally from China, Dong began his restaurant career at the age of 20 after moving to Manhattan. While there, he learned the art of sushi from a Japanese Chef and proceeded to perfect his sushi-making skills in New York for several years before arriving in Chicago with a goal of opening his own business. Since his arrival in Chicago, Dong has operated a sushi restaurant in La Grange. He is excited to unveil his inventive and unique sauces and sushi rolls, which feature a Latin flair. As the Executive Chef, Dong admits that he draws his greatest inspiration and drive for perfection by watching his guests joyfully devour his artistic creations.
